|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo anticipated with Style Yourself leading the way. DIVERTISION (3) sets the standard in a B2 over 1400m at Kanazawa, having won her past two here and justified short odds last start when scoring by a length and a half from Don Takami. Her previous 3yo+ C1 win by two lengths from Kuroyuki gives the form a tidy base, and her record at this track and distance is a major positive. BEST TANGO (10) is the clear danger after turning a sequence of placings into a last-start win, albeit by half a length and at outsider odds. The query is that she has placed 13 times from 23 tries at this track and distance without winning there, so she is reliable rather than bombproof. YUINO KOKYU (8) was only fair when fifth last time, but his two-length Kanazawa win prior at big odds keeps him firmly in the discussion. STYLE YOURSELF (9) brings winning form and an excellent recent-season record, though the heavy defeat two back means she profiles slightly more as a threat than a standout.

RYUNO RED EYE
KAZUYOSHI KATO 6YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Worked home fairly but was never a threat when eighth at Kanazawa last start, beaten just over five lengths behind Seven Make Happy after starting at big odds. The run prior was much sharper, scoring by a length and a half from Kadoban Sokojikara when near the top of betting. With four wins and three places from twelve starts at this track and distance, she has enough foundation to press for minor money. |

MIYAGI ROAD
KAZUMASA KANEDA 4YO DK B HORSE 57.0KG Failed to run on when second last at Kanazawa last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Seven Make Happy, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. Two back he led in a 3yo+ B1 before finishing fifth, beaten seven and a half lengths behind Derma Susobarai. His track-and-distance record is respectable, but recent finishing strength is the clear concern. |

DIVERTISION
KAZUHIRO KATO 6YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Masanobu Habata Made it two straight Kanazawa wins last start, sitting just in front before extending clearly to beat Don Takami by a length and a half as a short odds-on favourite. That followed a two-length 3yo+ C1 win from Kuroyuki, so the current form is strong and reliable. Tatsuya Nakajima has a good record on her, and she looks well placed if she holds that level again. |

FRAISES TARTE
MASAYUKI NAKAGAWA 5YO BAY MARE 52.0KG Kosho Bokujo Settled handy in a 3yo+ B1 at Kanazawa last start but could not make a challenge, finishing sixth and beaten over 10 lengths by Layover. Her previous run was also plain, second last and beaten over 11 lengths behind Derma Susobarai when unwanted in the market. The lighter weight and past track-and-trip wins help, but she needs a marked turnaround. |
4 NOBORU ASANO |

DREAM SPURT
Atsushi Ikeda 4YO BAY GELDING 57.0KG Settled rearward and finished fifth at Kanazawa last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Le Serment D'Amour after being near the top of an open market. His previous third at long odds was better, working home well to be beaten just under three lengths by Miracolo Eclat. Two wins and four places from nine at this track and distance keep him in the minor-money mix. |
5 KUNIHISA HIRASE |

NOEL
AKIHIRO KAWAZOE 4YO DK B HORSE 57.0KG Laurel Racing Co .Ltd. Won a 3yo+ C1 at Kanazawa last start by three lengths from Last Yommaru after settling back, a clear improvement on the previous fourth when beaten three lengths by Ka Noa Lady. That win has merit, but this B2 assignment asks for another step up. With one win and two places from six at this track and distance, he is not hopeless but must repeat the peak. |
6 SHIZUO OKI |

YUNA PEARL
Atsushi Ikeda 4YO GREY FILLY 55.0KG Yoshimune Karino Settled rearward and finished seventh at Kanazawa last start, beaten just over four lengths behind Seven Make Happy, after starting an outside chance in betting. The run prior in 3yo+ B1 was no stronger, conceding a big start and finishing sixth, beaten just under eight lengths by Derma Susobarai. Her jockey record is positive, but she must travel closer to her best to threaten. |
7 MASAYOSHI AOYAGI |

YUINO KOKYU
KAZUHIRO KATO 5YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Kentaro Yui Was only fair to the line when fifth at Kanazawa last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Seven Make Happy, but the prior run keeps him right in this. He beat Myriad Talent by two lengths here at big odds and brings solid recent-season figures, with three wins and three places from 19 starts in the past 12 months. If he recaptures that winning run, he is a serious player. |
8 YUMA SHIBATA |

STYLE YOURSELF
SEIJI SUKITA 7YO DK B MARE 55.0KG Led and won at Kanazawa last start, beating Eiyu Sabrina by a length and a half after being near the top of betting. The concern is the run prior, when seventh and beaten over 11 lengths by Gortys without a supplied excuse. Her broader profile is solid, including four wins at this track and distance and three wins from seven starts in the past 12 months, so she remains a live place hope. |

BEST TANGO
MASAYA SUZUKI 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Turned consistent form into a Kanazawa win last start, beating Nobutomo by half a length after starting among the outsiders. Two back she was second in a 3yo+ C1, beaten two and a half lengths by Rune Factor at long odds, so she is holding her form. The caveat is her track-and-distance record: 13 placings from 23 starts without a win. Even so, she has the right current form to fight this out. |
